Maggie Chapman MSP slanders Supreme Court

[Seriestwo]

Maggie Chapman has publicly accused the Supreme Court of transphobia. Any lawyers know if this is contempt of court?

Currently a Bill going through Scotparl. Although that doesn't necessarily mean much.

Worth checking out item 5 on today's agenda, too:

1. For Women Scotland Ltd (Appellant) v The Scottish Ministers (Respondent): The Committee will consider its approach to scrutiny of the implications of the Supreme Court Judgment.

Although item 2 may preclude us being able to watch that bit:

1. Decision on taking business in private: The Committee will decide whether to take items 4 and 5 in private.

Here we go.

She should step down, whatever the vote. It's absurd that she's in such a position of power while making such comments. (edit - this is just my view, not Tess White's!)

Tess White currently laying out the motion, including the Faculty of Advocates' letter.

Maggie on the video starts by whanging on about trans people

She seems to be surrounded by flying crosses. Bit odd. She is not even slightly addressing the issues at hand. She sounds utterly unhinged. Now going on about abortion law. WTF?!

Oh my word, she's doubling down. Criticising courts for being racist.

Is she really this thick? Culture war again. You're missing the fucking point, Maggie! Is it wilful?

I don't think the STUC will thank you for dragging them into it, tbh.

Of course she is - she sees herself as Scotland’s C21 Prime Social Justice Warrior cum martyr.

It's so absurd. She's a raging extremist and so unaware.

I'm scunnered people can be this blinkered. She doesn't understand the basic thing about upholding the independence of the judiciary. That should be really concerning to any politician.

At this point I'm wondering whether she needs a mental health intervention.

Paul OKane now going on about the SC judgement. The ins and outs of the judgement don't actually matter in this precise moment, Paul. The issue is whether your colleague has acted properly.

God save us. This isn't complicated.

Just waffling on

The chair has asked her to apologise for her statement and back the rule o law on record.

Tension mounts.

'You must reverse ferret!'

So. Seven members of this committee. 3 SNP, 1 Green, 2 Tory, 1 Labour.

Karen Adam and Chapman will have a vote on this? How will it work?

OKane asking her to apologise and do a bit of recanting and performative chants. Bet £10 she won't.

Oooooh will she apologise

£25 to FWS she won't. 😂

Will she ferret! That would admidt that laws are real, then maybe women are real. And ferrets too?

Either she ferrets and looks daft or she refuses does a Trump and maybe gets kicked out.

Tension mounts.

This is awesome 😬😬

OKane says they'll refer it to whole parliament for a vote if she won't apologise.

AMAZING! Yes do that that lets get all of Scotland watching Holyrood voting on whether laws are real.

Marie McNair - what a wet wipe.

Rachael Hamilton now - calm, sensible and focussed. Accuses MC of gaslighting. Dereliction of duty. Notes MC's previous failing to disclose her role as CEO of Rape Crisis when discussing RCS.
